Abstract

An unprecedented oxa- versus thia-selectivity has been observed in Prins cyclization of 6-mercaptohex-3-en-1-ol with aldehydes. In the presence of a stoichiometric amount of strong Lewis or Brønsted acids, the reaction provides the hexahydro-2H-thieno[3,2-c]pyran skeleton predominantly via oxonium-Prins cyclization. In contrast, a catalytic amount of weak Lewis or Brønsted acids provides the hexahydro-2H-thiopyrano[4,3-b]furan preferentially through thionium-Prins cyclization.
